Trivia
This game was originally released for the
Halcyon Interactive Laser Disc System and the arcade as
Thayer's Quest by RDI Video Systems. When this game, and
Shadoan were released, the character names were redone, perhaps to avoid paying royalties.
RDI Video Systems was founded by Rick Dyer, one of the people that created the
Dragon's Lair and
Space Ace arcade games. RDI Video Systems went bankrupt soon after releasing
Thayer's Quest and the
Halcyon Interactive Laser Disc System.
